Rare Disease is not talked about enough! The lack of scientific knowledge and quality information on the disease often results in a delay in diagnosis. Critically unmet need in Rare Diseases engenders inequalities and difficulties in access to treatment and care.  The Broad diversity of disorders and relatively common symptoms can hide underlying rare diseases; initial misdiagnosis is common. Symptoms differ across disease areas, resulting in a range of patient to patient suffering.

In addition, let's celebrate the work that Biotech's like Sarepta Therapeutics, Solid Biosciences, PTC Therapeutics, Inc., and Travere Therapeutics (to name just a few) are doing in this highly complex Therapeutic area.
